- I'm erick stakelbeck.
- 00:00:04.861 --> 00:00:05.929
- And if you need a cautionary tale of what america
- 00:00:05.929 --> 00:00:09.799
- Would look like if it chose to go down the path of wokeness.
- 00:00:09.799 --> 00:00:13.770
- Look no further than great britain.
- 00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:16.306
- The left wing
- 00:00:16.306 --> 00:00:17.373
- Government of the storm has basically declared war
- 00:00:17.373 --> 00:00:20.176
- On any brit, with concern of traditional insane views,
- 00:00:20.176 --> 00:00:24.614
- Especially when it comes
- 00:00:24.614 --> 00:00:25.815
- To the mass muslim migration that is transforming the uk
- 00:00:25.815 --> 00:00:29.752
- Into a place that's barely recognized usable
- 00:00:29.752 --> 00:00:32.722
- While radical islamist run free average brits who speak out
- 00:00:32.722 --> 00:00:37.260
- Against the madness are hauled off to jail.
- 00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:40.530
- Folks, just look at these numbers.
- 00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:42.632
- Great britain, one of our greatest allies.
- 00:00:42.632 --> 00:00:45.368
- A beacon of western civilization.
- 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:47.604
- Now arrests over 12,000 people per year
- 00:00:47.604 --> 00:00:52.542
- For social media posts that authorities deem offensive.
- 00:00:52.542 --> 00:00:57.280
- Speak out on islamic migration or gender issues may be, quote,
- 00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.417
- Some bible verses
- 00:01:01.417 --> 00:01:02.986
- And you could get a knock on your door from british police.
- 00:01:02.986 --> 00:01:06.923
- Over 12,000 arrests per year for so-called hate speech.
- 00:01:06.923 --> 00:01:11.828
- That's 30 per day.
- 00:01:11.828 --> 00:01:13.463
- That's the most in the world more than china, iran and syria.
- 00:01:13.463 --> 00:01:18.268
- Winston churchill is turning in his grave.
- 00:01:18.268 --> 00:01:21.838
- Germany, by the way, is number three on the list with over
- 00:01:21.838 --> 00:01:25.008
- 3500 speech related arrests per year.
- 00:01:25.008 --> 00:01:28.912
- This is tyranny, and it's only going to get worse
- 00:01:28.912 --> 00:01:32.882
- Because these weak, woke western governments continue
- 00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:37.086
- To let waves of muslim migrants
- 00:01:37.086 --> 00:01:39.355
- Into their countries who refuse to assimilate,
- 00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:43.092
- And the people born in those countries are fed up.
- 00:01:43.092 --> 00:01:46.663
- The united states, under president trump,
- 00:01:46.663 --> 00:01:48.565
- Is really
- 00:01:48.565 --> 00:01:49.799
- The last line of defense for judeo-christian civilization.
- 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.303
- And if we ever decide to go woke, there's a very good chance
- 00:01:53.303 --> 00:01:57.840
- The lights go out on the west as we know it.
- 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.544
- Coming up, brigitte, gabrielle is here to break down
- 00:02:01.544 --> 00:02:03.947
- Why america cannot lose this fight.
- 00:02:03.947 --> 00:02:06.683
- And it all starts now.
- 00:02:06.683 --> 00:02:25.868
- As iran's streets
- 00:02:26.302 --> 00:02:27.804
- Erupt and the regime cracks down with brutal force.
- 00:02:27.804 --> 00:02:31.174
- The world is once again confronting a familiar question.
- 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:34.577
- Are we watching
- 00:02:34.577 --> 00:02:35.712
- The beginning of the end for the islamic republic, or
- 00:02:35.712 --> 00:02:39.482
- Just another cycle of repression by iran's mullahs?
- 00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:43.019
- At the same time,
- 00:02:43.019 --> 00:02:44.220
- The jihadist ideology driving tehran's tyranny continues
- 00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:48.258
- To push far beyond iran's borders, raging urgent questions
- 00:02:48.258 --> 00:02:52.695
- About freedom, security and the rule of law right here at home.
- 00:02:52.695 --> 00:02:57.033
- Joining me now is bridget gabriel,
- 00:02:57.033 --> 00:02:58.568

- And the united states. bridget, always great to see you.
- 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.448
- Hey, we see these massive protests, the iranian people.
- 00:03:12.448 --> 00:03:15.285
- Yes, the iranian people
- 00:03:15.285 --> 00:03:16.686
- Rising up for freedom against this wicked regime.
- 00:03:16.686 --> 00:03:20.223
- Bridget, how important is it?
- 00:03:20.223 --> 00:03:22.458
- And paint a picture for us of what the middle east,
- 00:03:22.458 --> 00:03:25.395
- What iran would look like if this regime were to fall.
- 00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:30.366
- What's happening in iran right now?
- 00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:32.769
- And if the regime falls and i believe it will fall.
- 00:03:32.769 --> 00:03:37.440
- It will be transformational worldwide
- 00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:41.311
- Because, you know, we said, what happens in
- 00:03:41.311 --> 00:03:43.012
- Vegas stays in vegas, what happens in iran,
- 00:03:43.012 --> 00:03:46.015
- What's happening in iran and what's been happening in
- 00:03:46.015 --> 00:03:48.685
- Iran has been reverberating worldwide.
- 00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:52.121
- The area of terrorism, iran's single handedly,
- 00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:55.458
- Through its proxy army, hezbollah, has committed terror
- 00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:58.561
- Attacks on four continents across the globe.
- 00:03:58.561 --> 00:04:02.532
- And, you know, we just heard about last week,
- 00:04:02.532 --> 00:04:05.368
- The top of the news was venezuela.
- 00:04:05.368 --> 00:04:07.403
- Hezbollah has its biggest command center in venezuela.
- 00:04:07.403 --> 00:04:11.574
- Venezuela and iran.
- 00:04:11.574 --> 00:04:13.509
- Not only are, countries who are ruled by dictators,
- 00:04:13.509 --> 00:04:17.947
- But they are drug inc.
- 00:04:17.947 --> 00:04:20.049
- That means there are two drug corporations
- 00:04:20.049 --> 00:04:22.852
- Who are using the drugs to fund terrorism worldwide.
- 00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:26.522
- Iran is selling the drugs and funding its proxies worldwide.
- 00:04:26.522 --> 00:04:30.660
- So what happens in iran will affect the global stability
- 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:36.899
- When it comes to peace and national security.
- 00:04:36.899 --> 00:04:39.435
- And i believe, that the people in iran
- 00:04:39.435 --> 00:04:42.605
- Right now are that they have nothing else to lose.
- 00:04:42.605 --> 00:04:45.875
- They are about they lost it all.
- 00:04:45.875 --> 00:04:48.311
- They are fighting for their life.
- 00:04:48.311 --> 00:04:49.712
- And at this point, they don't even care if they live.
- 00:04:49.712 --> 00:04:52.515
- They want to make sure they secure freedom
- 00:04:52.515 --> 00:04:54.951
- For their children.
- 00:04:54.951 --> 00:04:56.052
- So i believe we're going to see a different iran in a
- 00:04:56.052 --> 00:05:00.223
- In the very near future.
- 00:05:00.223 --> 00:05:01.891
- And i believe that the iranian people will be liberated,
- 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:05.428
- Assisted by the united states and israel.
- 00:05:05.428 --> 00:05:09.332
- But the victory will be the victory of the iranian people.
- 00:05:09.332 --> 00:05:12.869
- They will own it. they will be proud of it.
- 00:05:12.869 --> 00:05:15.238
- We are just there as the wind in their back,
- 00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:17.540
- Pushing them forward. yeah.
- 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:19.409
- Well said.
- 00:05:19.409 --> 00:05:20.276
- You would think the entire free world
- 00:05:20.276 --> 00:05:21.844
- Will be behind the iranian people right now.
- 00:05:21.844 --> 00:05:24.347
- And yet
- 00:05:24.347 --> 00:05:25.581
- We've seen stunning silence on college campuses at the u.n.
- 00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:28.818
- And europe, where all those protesters,
- 00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:31.421
- They were accusing israel are out in droves
- 00:05:31.421 --> 00:05:33.289
- In the streets, accusing israel of genocide.
- 00:05:33.289 --> 00:05:35.558
- Now a real genocide is happening.
- 00:05:35.558 --> 00:05:37.293
- The regime is slaughtering iranians in the streets
- 00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.896
- And the left is strangely silent.
- 00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:42.165
- Has that been striking to you at all?
- 00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:44.434
- Oh, yeah, and
- 00:05:44.801 --> 00:05:45.868
- It has been striking, but it's been expected.
- 00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:47.937
- Somebody like me, who comes from the middle east
- 00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:50.039
- Understands how they think, understands,
- 00:05:50.039 --> 00:05:53.142
- What pushes their hard
- 00:05:53.609 --> 00:05:54.744
- Buttons and understands how they manipulate the world,
- 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:58.114
- The palestinian cause, the way they were able to,
- 00:05:58.114 --> 00:06:01.417
- Galvanize everybody around the palestinian cause
- 00:06:01.417 --> 00:06:04.353
- Is because they pushed that genocide
- 00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:07.323
- Element of the war, not a religious element in iran.
- 00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:12.462
- The people of iran are not just fighting against the mullahs.
- 00:06:12.462 --> 00:06:15.665
- They're fighting against the islamic ideology
- 00:06:15.665 --> 00:06:19.168
- Itself, which is a repressive ideology.
- 00:06:19.168 --> 00:06:22.171
- What's an ideology that robs, people of their human rights?
- 00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:26.876
- Women are considered a property, to be sold
- 00:06:26.876 --> 00:06:30.513
- Or purchased, to be covered.
- 00:06:30.513 --> 00:06:32.014
- The iranian regime tells its people,
- 00:06:32.014 --> 00:06:35.117
- What to do, how to do it.
- 00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:36.486
- According to the koran, the god, the man that they intended to,
- 00:06:36.486 --> 00:06:40.923
- Hang yesterday, to basically kill the charge against
- 00:06:40.923 --> 00:06:45.428
- That was that he committed a crime against allah.
- 00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:48.931
- So basically, they look at themselves and mullah as allah.
- 00:06:48.931 --> 00:06:52.869
- When you charge somebody with death and want to execute him
- 00:06:52.869 --> 00:06:57.340
- Because he committed a crime against allah,
- 00:06:57.340 --> 00:07:01.210
- The iranian people are revolting against islam itself.
- 00:07:01.210 --> 00:07:05.815
- And that makes it very
- 00:07:05.815 --> 00:07:07.149
- Uncomfortable for the world media, for the,
- 00:07:07.149 --> 00:07:10.920
- Lefty gullible idiots.
- 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.688
- They will have to confront
- 00:07:12.688 --> 00:07:14.357
- The religion of itself, of islam itself,
- 00:07:14.357 --> 00:07:17.827
- And they don't have the courage nor the information to do that.
- 00:07:17.827 --> 00:07:21.130
- Yeah,
- 00:07:21.130 --> 00:07:22.131
- They're also very upset about president trump's
- 00:07:22.131 --> 00:07:23.332
- Talk about greenland, why that land
- 00:07:23.332 --> 00:07:25.301
- Mass is very important to america's security.
- 00:07:25.301 --> 00:07:28.137
- What do you think? is this an issue?
- 00:07:28.137 --> 00:07:29.672
- Is greenland more an issue
- 00:07:29.672 --> 00:07:31.140
- Of china and russia and keeping that at bay?
- 00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:34.010
- It seems like president trump
- 00:07:34.010 --> 00:07:35.044
- Has some very good strategic thinking here.
- 00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:37.480
- About a minute left before the break.
- 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.148
- Yes. greenland is a very strategic national security
- 00:07:40.182 --> 00:07:43.786
- Point for the united states and for the world right now.
- 00:07:43.786 --> 00:07:47.123
- Chinese and russian ships carriers are already in the sea,
- 00:07:47.123 --> 00:07:52.028
- Waiting to leap to take greenland.
- 00:07:52.028 --> 00:07:54.597
- They will take it if we don't move first.
- 00:07:54.597 --> 00:07:56.799
- And that's exactly why president trump is saying
- 00:07:56.799 --> 00:07:59.035
- We won't take greenland.
- 00:07:59.035 --> 00:08:00.503
- We can either go with the hard way
- 00:08:00.503 --> 00:08:02.371
- Or we can do it the easy way.
- 00:08:02.371 --> 00:08:03.940
- And the easy way is when we pay money for everybody,
- 00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:07.176
- We make a great business deal.
- 00:08:07.176 --> 00:08:08.844
- Everybody will be happy, everybody will be compensated.
- 00:08:08.844 --> 00:08:11.581
- And western nations right now who are coming up against
- 00:08:11.581 --> 00:08:13.916
- President trump
- 00:08:13.916 --> 00:08:15.117
- Are basically positioning themselves to get the best deal.
- 00:08:15.117 --> 00:08:17.820

- Bridget warns that america may be functioning
- 00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:34.003

- 00:09:10.317 --> 00:09:12.052
- It's in minneapolis.
- 00:09:12.052 --> 00:09:13.220
- Yes, but we're seeing this in somali communities
- 00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:15.589
- Across the united states.
- 00:09:15.589 --> 00:09:16.823
- This seems to be a culture
- 00:09:16.823 --> 00:09:18.492
- That is fundamentally incompatible, incompatible
- 00:09:18.492 --> 00:09:21.261
- With american society and western civilization.
- 00:09:21.261 --> 00:09:24.131
- Does this fraud scandal there, i mean, hundreds of millions
- 00:09:24.131 --> 00:09:26.767
- If not billions in minneapolis involving the somali community?
- 00:09:26.767 --> 00:09:30.103
- Does it speak
- 00:09:30.103 --> 00:09:31.104
- Volumes in a larger sense about the problem
- 00:09:31.104 --> 00:09:33.440
- We have with mass muslim migration?
- 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.276
- Yes, it does, because the corruption
- 00:09:37.044 --> 00:09:39.312
- Is not only limited to minnesota,
- 00:09:39.312 --> 00:09:41.815
- And it's not only limited to the somali community.
- 00:09:41.815 --> 00:09:44.151
- I think we just opened our eyes.
- 00:09:44.151 --> 00:09:46.753
- The country is shocked to see the extent of the stealing,
- 00:09:46.753 --> 00:09:51.158
- Robbing the american taxpayer of the billions of dollars
- 00:09:51.158 --> 00:09:54.394
- That were stolen.
- 00:09:54.828 --> 00:09:55.862
- So the american public is shocked at the level,
- 00:09:55.862 --> 00:09:59.232
- Of stealing and theft, but also,
- 00:09:59.866 --> 00:10:02.736
- They're going to start finding out
- 00:10:02.736 --> 00:10:03.937
- And they're going to start
- 00:10:03.937 --> 00:10:05.038
- Looking under the microscope, shining the microscope
- 00:10:05.038 --> 00:10:07.474
- On a lot of other minority communities
- 00:10:07.474 --> 00:10:09.576
- Coming to the united states
- 00:10:09.576 --> 00:10:11.078
- And using our system to steal from our system.
- 00:10:11.078 --> 00:10:13.980
- Look, you cannot import people who come from corrupt culture
- 00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:17.818
- Where stealing, lying, cheating is a part of the fabric
- 00:10:17.818 --> 00:10:21.054
- As a part of the dna of the culture.
- 00:10:21.054 --> 00:10:22.923
- I mean, look at africa, look at the corruption
- 00:10:22.923 --> 00:10:25.225
- In africa, look at the stealing, the theft,
- 00:10:25.225 --> 00:10:27.594
- The the the shenanigans that happens there.
- 00:10:27.594 --> 00:10:30.297
- Do you expect them to do something different?
- 00:10:30.297 --> 00:10:32.232
- It's like when obama got elected to washington dc,
- 00:10:32.232 --> 00:10:35.135
- He basically brought chicago politics with him.
- 00:10:35.135 --> 00:10:37.838
- Chicago, the way they do business
- 00:10:37.838 --> 00:10:40.774
- Became the way they did business in washington dc.
- 00:10:40.774 --> 00:10:43.677
- Corruption, stealing, lying, deceiving, blackmailing.
- 00:10:43.677 --> 00:10:48.582
- It was the norm.
- 00:10:48.582 --> 00:10:49.683
- And so we are seeing the same thing
- 00:10:49.683 --> 00:10:51.718
- Happening out of minnesota, and it's not just in minnesota.
- 00:10:51.718 --> 00:10:54.654
- Look what we're finding out right now.
- 00:10:54.654 --> 00:10:56.089
- The corruption in ohio, also by the minnesota in community.
- 00:10:56.089 --> 00:11:00.527
- But then again, look at all the middle eastern community
- 00:11:00.527 --> 00:11:03.563
- That have come here before and other communities
- 00:11:03.563 --> 00:11:06.066
- Where where corruption is rampant
- 00:11:06.066 --> 00:11:08.301
- And the societies
- 00:11:08.301 --> 00:11:09.302
- In which they immigrated to the united states
- 00:11:09.302 --> 00:11:11.605
- And how they were using the system.
- 00:11:11.605 --> 00:11:14.608
- I know people who use,
- 00:11:14.608 --> 00:11:16.977
- Government credit card to work for the government.
- 00:11:16.977 --> 00:11:19.379
- And remember about 4 or 5 years ago
- 00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.181
- When the government
- 00:11:21.181 --> 00:11:21.982
- Was just handing out credit cards
- 00:11:21.982 --> 00:11:23.750
- To anybody that worked for the government?
- 00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:25.819
- That big scandal, they were using those credit cards to buy
- 00:11:25.819 --> 00:11:29.556
- Airline tickets,
- 00:11:29.556 --> 00:11:30.824
- To go vacation with their family back at their home countries.
- 00:11:30.824 --> 00:11:34.361
- Take the grandkids and the cousins and everybody
- 00:11:34.361 --> 00:11:37.030
- All paid for by the american government.
- 00:11:37.030 --> 00:11:39.266
- Except now, with the billions of money in cash
- 00:11:39.266 --> 00:11:43.436
- Being taken out of the country and suitcases,
- 00:11:43.436 --> 00:11:47.374
- And tsa didn't say anything about it, when day
- 00:11:47.374 --> 00:11:50.977
- After day, after day after day, $1 million in cash,
- 00:11:50.977 --> 00:11:55.582
- $1 million in cash, $1 million in cash every single day
- 00:11:55.582 --> 00:11:59.653
- Leaving the country.
- 00:11:59.653 --> 00:12:00.887
- And no one had the guts to come
- 00:12:00.887 --> 00:12:03.890
- Forward and say, hey, something is going on here.
- 00:12:03.890 --> 00:12:07.127
- You need to take a look at it
- 00:12:07.127 --> 00:12:08.361
- And actually get something done about it.
- 00:12:08.361 --> 00:12:10.330
- That's the problem.
- 00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:11.832
- Bridget.
- 00:12:11.832 --> 00:12:12.966
- It's madness and people are waking up to it, thank god.
- 00:12:12.966 --> 00:12:15.202
- And a big part of that is your work and act for america.
- 00:12:15.202 --> 00:12:17.737
- Look,
- 00:12:17.737 --> 00:12:18.972
- The islamization that agenda is advancing rapidly in europe.
- 00:12:18.972 --> 00:12:21.942
- You and i were talking off camera.
- 00:12:21.942 --> 00:12:23.210
- You said, look, your organization, number one
- 00:12:23.210 --> 00:12:25.312
- Is experiencing tremendous growth.
- 00:12:25.312 --> 00:12:27.180
- And number two, people see what's happening in europe.
- 00:12:27.180 --> 00:12:30.150
- They see it as a cautionary tale and they're waking up.
- 00:12:30.150 --> 00:12:32.919
- Tell us more about what you're seeing at the grassroots
- 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.789
- Throughout the united states, how people are becoming
- 00:12:35.789 --> 00:12:38.058
- Increasingly aware of the islamic threat
- 00:12:38.058 --> 00:12:40.660
- And how it's advancing throughout the west.
- 00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:42.662
- A people started waking up
- 00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:46.099
- Because of the epic city project in texas,
- 00:12:46.099 --> 00:12:50.036
- And that started the national conversation going.
- 00:12:50.036 --> 00:12:53.039
- You add to that the approach of the christmas
- 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.176
- Holiday and all social media videos.
- 00:12:56.176 --> 00:12:59.246
- When you started seeing,
- 00:12:59.246 --> 00:13:00.914
- A christmas markets canceled in europe,
- 00:13:00.914 --> 00:13:03.350
- Christmas celebration is canceled in paris,
- 00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:05.752
- And new year's eve celebration is canceled
- 00:13:05.752 --> 00:13:07.554
- In paris and london, in here and there.
- 00:13:07.554 --> 00:13:09.890
- And the american public started saying, hey,
- 00:13:09.890 --> 00:13:12.592
- Germany has barricades
- 00:13:12.592 --> 00:13:14.327
- Around their christmas markets like it is a war zone.
- 00:13:14.327 --> 00:13:18.231
- And right now, all of a sudden
- 00:13:18.231 --> 00:13:19.799
- They started looking at the stomach.
- 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:20.967
- Immigration in america and started realizing that
- 00:13:20.967 --> 00:13:24.204
- The number of mosques in america are doubling.
- 00:13:24.204 --> 00:13:27.574
- For example, when i wrote my book,
- 00:13:27.574 --> 00:13:29.809
- At the my first book, because they hate in 2006,
- 00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:32.646
- We had about 1500 mosques in the united states.
- 00:13:32.646 --> 00:13:35.515
- Today there are over 30, 500.
- 00:13:35.515 --> 00:13:38.752
- And so the american public is concerned.
- 00:13:38.752 --> 00:13:40.720
- And because of that, we launched again.
- 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.857
- We relaunched our chapter network
- 00:13:43.857 --> 00:13:45.558
- Because we realized there's a great need
- 00:13:45.558 --> 00:13:47.060
- For people wanting to organize their community.
- 00:13:47.060 --> 00:13:49.195
- And i'm proud to tell you that in the months of december
- 00:13:49.195 --> 00:13:52.465
- And the first week of january, we have signed up 146 chapters

- Who are focused on stopping the islamic radicalization
- 00:14:01.841 --> 00:14:05.946
- From rising in their community because they're realizing
- 00:14:05.946 --> 00:14:08.915
- It's not just at big city, it's now nationwide.
- 00:14:08.915 --> 00:14:11.985
- Look what just happened in oklahoma.
- 00:14:11.985 --> 00:14:14.187

- And coming up straight ahead, texas is pushing back
- 00:15:04.637 --> 00:15:08.742
- On the islamization from banning the muslim brotherhood
- 00:15:08.742 --> 00:15:12.112
- To rejecting jihadist ideology.
- 00:15:12.112 --> 00:15:14.748
- Congressman wesley hunt is here to explain
- 00:15:14.748 --> 00:15:16.916
- Why the lone star state

- That's next. don't move.
- 00:15:22.088 --> 00:15:26.016
- That's next. don't move.
- 00:15:26.016 --> 00:15:29.061
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight.
- 00:15:29.828 --> 00:15:31.730
- 48 mosques in 24 months.
- 00:15:31.730 --> 00:15:36.235
- Folks, those are the numbers right here
- 00:15:36.235 --> 00:15:39.138
- In the state of texas.
- 00:15:39.138 --> 00:15:40.873
- Islam is on the rise in america.
- 00:15:40.873 --> 00:15:43.208
- Sharia law is being discussed.
- 00:15:43.208 --> 00:15:45.677
- And texas congressman wesley hunt is sounding the alarm.
- 00:15:45.677 --> 00:15:49.048
- He joins us now. congressman, always great to see you.
- 00:15:49.048 --> 00:15:51.483
- Hey, you're running for senate as well.
- 00:15:51.483 --> 00:15:53.152
- We're going to talk about that in a minute.
- 00:15:53.152 --> 00:15:54.520
- But first look we've got epic city.
- 00:15:54.520 --> 00:15:57.589
- This proposed islamic
- 00:15:57.589 --> 00:15:58.991
- Development here in the dallas fort worth area.
- 00:15:58.991 --> 00:16:02.461
- Governor greg abbott just banned the muslim brotherhood.
- 00:16:02.461 --> 00:16:05.264
- A lot happening
- 00:16:05.264 --> 00:16:06.365
- On the islamic front in texas and across america.
- 00:16:06.365 --> 00:16:10.135
- How concerned should we be?
- 00:16:10.135 --> 00:16:12.404
- Oh, we should be extremely concerned,
- 00:16:12.404 --> 00:16:14.239
- Because this is actually the mandate
- 00:16:14.239 --> 00:16:15.607
- That's been given to islam is to basically go to other
- 00:16:15.607 --> 00:16:19.378
- Countries and infiltrate them.
- 00:16:19.378 --> 00:16:21.447
- Have a heavy population and then eventually take them over.
- 00:16:21.447 --> 00:16:24.349
- This is not anything new.
- 00:16:24.349 --> 00:16:25.717
- This is what's happened, for generations.
- 00:16:25.717 --> 00:16:28.120
- And so what we have to do
- 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:29.221
- Is protect our culture here in the united states.
- 00:16:29.221 --> 00:16:31.523
- And by no stretch of the imagination,
- 00:16:31.523 --> 00:16:33.225
- In my xenophobia,
- 00:16:33.225 --> 00:16:34.293
- By no stretch of the imagination in my are racist.
- 00:16:34.293 --> 00:16:36.562
- Again, i tell people all the time,
- 00:16:36.562 --> 00:16:37.629
- I've been black for like, my entire life,
- 00:16:37.629 --> 00:16:39.631
- But i view myself as an american first.
- 00:16:39.631 --> 00:16:42.367
- And at the end of the day, sharia law does not belong
- 00:16:42.367 --> 00:16:45.471
- In this country
- 00:16:45.471 --> 00:16:46.038
- Because we have
- 00:16:46.038 --> 00:16:46.738
- Our own constitutional republic
- 00:16:46.738 --> 00:16:48.607
- And we have our own constitution.
- 00:16:48.607 --> 00:16:50.909
- Now i'm somebody that's deployed to iraq.
- 00:16:50.909 --> 00:16:53.278
- I, i flew 55 combat missions in baghdad,
- 00:16:53.278 --> 00:16:56.248
- West point grad, and i've also had six years
- 00:16:56.248 --> 00:16:58.917
- With the military service and my family.
- 00:16:58.917 --> 00:17:00.652
- My whole family has deployed
- 00:17:00.652 --> 00:17:01.987
- To the middle east,
- 00:17:01.987 --> 00:17:03.255
- And i've also spent two years in saudi arabia and countries
- 00:17:03.255 --> 00:17:06.558
- That have sharia law.
- 00:17:06.558 --> 00:17:07.926
- And i am the only candidate running
- 00:17:07.926 --> 00:17:09.394
- For senate that actually lived in these areas.
- 00:17:09.394 --> 00:17:11.463
- And i'm here to tell you
- 00:17:11.463 --> 00:17:12.531
- That that does not belong here in the u.s..
- 00:17:12.531 --> 00:17:14.766
- Now, granted,
- 00:17:14.766 --> 00:17:15.701
- You could have your own freedom of speech,
- 00:17:15.701 --> 00:17:17.536
- Freedom of religion, serve the god that you want.
- 00:17:17.536 --> 00:17:19.872
- But the second that you infiltrate our cities
- 00:17:19.872 --> 00:17:21.940
- And then try to implement
- 00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:23.008
- Your own laws based on your own religion.
- 00:17:23.008 --> 00:17:25.310
- And that's where i have a very big problem.
- 00:17:25.310 --> 00:17:27.846
- And we have got to prevent that from happening.
- 00:17:27.846 --> 00:17:29.982
- I am unapologetic about this because i have seen
- 00:17:29.982 --> 00:17:33.118
- Other countries that live under these rules.
- 00:17:33.118 --> 00:17:35.654
- It is not compatible with the united states.
- 00:17:35.654 --> 00:17:38.957
- End of discussion and we have got to ban it.
- 00:17:38.957 --> 00:17:41.960
- Yeah. well said. you served our country honorably in iraq.
- 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.596
- You spent a lot of time in saudi arabia as well.
- 00:17:44.596 --> 00:17:46.532
- So, you know, islamic sharia law all too well.
- 00:17:46.532 --> 00:17:49.201
- And congressman,
- 00:17:49.201 --> 00:17:49.868
- I think
- 00:17:49.868 --> 00:17:51.036
- What's happening in europe right now, i think of london
- 00:17:51.036 --> 00:17:52.571
- Is really a cautionary tale for america.
- 00:17:52.571 --> 00:17:54.940
- You're on the hill, capitol hill, of course.
- 00:17:54.940 --> 00:17:57.509
- Do you get a sense that your fellow members
- 00:17:57.509 --> 00:17:59.845
- In the house and those on the other side
- 00:17:59.845 --> 00:18:01.313
- In the senate,
- 00:18:01.313 --> 00:18:02.381
- That they grasp the nature of this islamic threat?
- 00:18:02.381 --> 00:18:05.617
- Well, we don't even have to go abroad.
- 00:18:05.617 --> 00:18:07.152
- We could just go to minnesota.
- 00:18:07.152 --> 00:18:08.520
- I mean, we're looking at what's happening
- 00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:09.788
- Right here in this whole country.
- 00:18:09.788 --> 00:18:11.290
- And no, they don't understand
- 00:18:11.290 --> 00:18:12.891
- Because they think that this world,
- 00:18:12.891 --> 00:18:14.560
- What is they'll be holding hands and saying kumbaya,
- 00:18:14.560 --> 00:18:16.828
- What they haven't seen.
- 00:18:16.828 --> 00:18:18.363
- It's like someone like me that's been forward
- 00:18:18.363 --> 00:18:19.932
- Deployed and understanding.
- 00:18:19.932 --> 00:18:21.300
- There are people that want to see the demise
- 00:18:21.300 --> 00:18:23.035
- And the end of this country and the end of our culture
- 00:18:23.035 --> 00:18:26.038
- As we know it, and that's because we have it good.
- 00:18:26.038 --> 00:18:29.041
- We have millions of people trying to walk into our country,
- 00:18:29.041 --> 00:18:31.777
- Across the border illegally for the past four years.
- 00:18:31.777 --> 00:18:34.012
- To the senate to the tune of 20 million people.
- 00:18:34.012 --> 00:18:36.381
- And that's because we have it the best in the world.
- 00:18:36.381 --> 00:18:40.118
- And there are people that are jealous,
- 00:18:40.118 --> 00:18:41.520
- And they will do anything to see it come to an abrupt end.
- 00:18:41.520 --> 00:18:44.590
- We have people that are
- 00:18:44.590 --> 00:18:45.691
- Actually currently serving in the halls of congress
- 00:18:45.691 --> 00:18:47.559
- That don't want to put this country first,
- 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.294
- That don't want to put america first,
- 00:18:49.294 --> 00:18:51.063
- That don't want to support law enforcement and the rule of law.
- 00:18:51.063 --> 00:18:54.433
- So, yes, i'm absolutely flabbergasted
- 00:18:54.433 --> 00:18:56.602
- That these people are even elected officials
- 00:18:56.602 --> 00:18:58.170
- And this great nation.
- 00:18:58.170 --> 00:18:59.238
- And this is what i am fighting against
- 00:18:59.238 --> 00:19:01.206
- When i am telling people across this great state, is this.
- 00:19:01.206 --> 00:19:04.142
- Look at what's happening in other countries.
- 00:19:04.142 --> 00:19:05.944
- Look at what's happening with mom dining in new york.
- 00:19:05.944 --> 00:19:08.313
- Look at what's happening in minnesota.
- 00:19:08.313 --> 00:19:10.382
- You want that here in texas?
- 00:19:10.382 --> 00:19:11.917
- The answer is an emphatic no.
- 00:19:11.917 --> 00:19:13.719
- We've got to protect our culture,
- 00:19:13.719 --> 00:19:15.320
- Protect our way of life.
- 00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:16.822
- And that is why i'm continuing
- 00:19:16.822 --> 00:19:18.457
- To serve this country outside of combat.
- 00:19:18.457 --> 00:19:20.726
- But now, on this side, political combat, if you will.
- 00:19:20.726 --> 00:19:23.895
- But i'm taking the lessons that i learned from my time
- 00:19:23.895 --> 00:19:26.598
- Serving in the military and applying it now.
- 00:19:26.598 --> 00:19:29.101
- We need strong, unapologetic leadership
- 00:19:29.101 --> 00:19:31.703
- And people that are willing to step up
- 00:19:31.703 --> 00:19:33.705
- And fight for what we believe in and fight
- 00:19:33.705 --> 00:19:35.540
- For what it means to be an american.
- 00:19:35.540 --> 00:19:37.242
- Look. come on, come on, give me your huddled masses.
- 00:19:37.242 --> 00:19:40.045
- I get all that.
- 00:19:40.045 --> 00:19:40.812
- But you have to.
- 00:19:40.812 --> 00:19:41.980
- You you have to at some point, assimilate to this culture
- 00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:44.182
- And to what it means to be an american.
- 00:19:44.182 --> 00:19:46.218
- Yeah.
- 00:19:46.218 --> 00:19:46.985
- Zoran mamdani, who you mentioned,
- 00:19:46.985 --> 00:19:48.186
- The mayor of new york city, seems like the personification
- 00:19:48.186 --> 00:19:50.489
- Of this unholy alliance between islam and the radical left.
- 00:19:50.489 --> 00:19:53.825
- You mentioned minneapolis as well,
- 00:19:53.825 --> 00:19:55.427
- And we see that unfolding on the streets right now.
- 00:19:55.427 --> 00:19:58.130
- What would you advocate for, congressman, in the senate
- 00:19:58.130 --> 00:20:00.866
- When it comes to taking our cities back?
- 00:20:00.866 --> 00:20:03.035
- This madness, the opposition to ice, ice agents being attacked.
- 00:20:03.035 --> 00:20:07.072
- How do we get a handle on that?
- 00:20:07.072 --> 00:20:09.107
- Well, we have to double down on what the people
- 00:20:09.107 --> 00:20:11.977
- In this great country voted for.
- 00:20:11.977 --> 00:20:14.112
- This is what we voted for.
- 00:20:14.112 --> 00:20:15.514
- We voted for a law in order.
- 00:20:15.514 --> 00:20:17.549
- We had 20 million people in our country illegally.
- 00:20:17.549 --> 00:20:20.619
- We don't have any idea who these people are.
- 00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:23.055
- And to put this in perspective,
- 00:20:23.055 --> 00:20:24.323
- When i was deployed to saudi arabia for two years,
- 00:20:24.323 --> 00:20:27.326
- I had to have
- 00:20:27.326 --> 00:20:28.527
- A diplomatic passport to fly in and out of that country.
- 00:20:28.527 --> 00:20:32.597
- They knew exactly who was coming in, and they're
- 00:20:32.597 --> 00:20:35.000
- In and out of their country.
- 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.201
- They had very strict immigration laws.
- 00:20:36.201 --> 00:20:38.704
- They knew exactly how long you were going to be there.
- 00:20:38.704 --> 00:20:41.239
- And the insinuation that even a place like saudi
- 00:20:41.239 --> 00:20:43.875
- Or other countries around the world
- 00:20:43.875 --> 00:20:45.444
- Would allow millions of people to point to their country
- 00:20:45.444 --> 00:20:48.313
- Without doing anything about it, is totally unacceptable.
- 00:20:48.313 --> 00:20:51.783
- So first of all, we have to enforce our border.
- 00:20:51.783 --> 00:20:53.752
- And i thank god for president trump
- 00:20:53.752 --> 00:20:55.287
- Because come to find out, we don't need any more border laws.
- 00:20:55.287 --> 00:20:58.023
- We simply needed a new president.
- 00:20:58.023 --> 00:20:59.858
- Good check. we got that. we got that down.
- 00:20:59.858 --> 00:21:02.227
- Now it's up.
- 00:21:02.227 --> 00:21:03.295
- It's up to us to codify the america first agenda.
- 00:21:03.295 --> 00:21:07.599
- So you asked me what i would do in the halls of congress.
- 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.968
- The first thing on the halls of the senate,
- 00:21:09.968 --> 00:21:11.470
- The first thing that i would do is eliminate the filibuster
- 00:21:11.470 --> 00:21:14.373
- So that we can actually get america first
- 00:21:14.373 --> 00:21:17.109
- To get the america first agenda across the finish line.
- 00:21:17.109 --> 00:21:19.644
- We have many senators that are fighting against that,
- 00:21:19.644 --> 00:21:21.680
- And i will not be one of them.
- 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.148
- Yeah.
- 00:21:23.148 --> 00:21:24.082
- Hey, you're running against john cornyn.
- 00:21:24.082 --> 00:21:25.150
- He's obviously been a senator
- 00:21:25.150 --> 00:21:26.184
- For a long time, ken paxton as well.
- 00:21:26.184 --> 00:21:28.387
- How are you feeling about the race
- 00:21:28.387 --> 00:21:29.688
- And what set you apart?
- 00:21:29.688 --> 00:21:30.722
- About 45 seconds left. sure.
- 00:21:30.722 --> 00:21:33.458
- What sets me apart is it's time for the next generation
- 00:21:33.458 --> 00:21:35.861
- Of leadership. it's time for the next generation
- 00:21:35.861 --> 00:21:38.063
- Of america first leadership.
- 00:21:38.063 --> 00:21:39.698
- I was the first person in the country
- 00:21:39.698 --> 00:21:41.500
- To endorse president trump.
- 00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:43.368
- And what i've discovered is this our vice
- 00:21:43.368 --> 00:21:45.070
- President is 41 years old.
- 00:21:45.070 --> 00:21:46.872
- Our secretary of state is in his early 50s.
- 00:21:46.872 --> 00:21:48.774
- Our secretary of war is in his mid 40s.
- 00:21:48.774 --> 00:21:51.042
- We're about actually about a year apart.
- 00:21:51.042 --> 00:21:52.811
- At the end of the day, it's time
- 00:21:52.811 --> 00:21:54.413
- For the next generation of america.
- 00:21:54.413 --> 00:21:56.047
- First patriots
- 00:21:56.047 --> 00:21:57.215
- To enter the fray and lead not just for the next three,
- 00:21:57.215 --> 00:22:00.352
- 4 or 5 years, but to lead into the future.
- 00:22:00.352 --> 00:22:03.021
- And that's exactly what i represent.
- 00:22:03.021 --> 00:22:05.457
- Again, this is about having the america
- 00:22:05.457 --> 00:22:07.626
- First agenda and a state that president trump
- 00:22:07.626 --> 00:22:09.795
- Just won by 14 points, 15.7 points.
- 00:22:09.795 --> 00:22:13.165
- And it's time for us to continue that for the future.
- 00:22:13.165 --> 00:22:15.434
- That's what differentiates me from my competitors.
- 00:22:15.434 --> 00:22:18.170
- Songs from wesleyan.
- 00:22:18.170 --> 00:22:19.204
- Thanks for all you do for our country.
- 00:22:19.204 --> 00:22:20.605
- We will be watching that senate race. god bless my friend.
- 00:22:20.605 --> 00:22:23.141
- We'll see you again soon. take care.
- 00:22:23.141 --> 00:22:24.709
- Oh thank you.
- 00:22:24.709 --> 00:22:26.178
- Absolutely.
- 00:22:26.178 --> 00:22:26.945
- And coming up after the break,
- 00:22:26.945 --> 00:22:28.146
- My final thoughts as we head into the weekend.
- 00:22:28.146 --> 00:22:31.283
- Stick around.
- 00:22:31.283 --> 00:22:36.010
- Stick around.
- 00:22:36.010 --> 00:22:38.690
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:39.591 --> 00:22:41.426
- As we wrap up,
- 00:22:41.426 --> 00:22:42.494
- We've been talking about battling evil ideologies.
- 00:22:42.494 --> 00:22:45.297
- It's been said that the only thing necessary
- 00:22:45.297 --> 00:22:47.065
- For evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
- 00:22:47.065 --> 00:22:51.002
- The bible puts it this way.
- 00:22:51.002 --> 00:22:52.737
- Ephesians chapter five, verse 11 says,
- 00:22:52.737 --> 00:22:54.973
- Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness.
- 00:22:54.973 --> 00:22:58.777
- I love that, but rather expose them.
- 00:22:58.777 --> 00:23:02.113
- That's exactly what we're doing on this show
- 00:23:02.113 --> 00:23:04.115
- For such a time as this.
- 00:23:04.115 --> 00:23:05.350
- Hey, we've got a civilization to save and the hours late.
- 00:23:05.350 --> 00:23:09.788
- So let's get to work.
- 00:23:09.788 --> 00:23:10.956
- We've got a great show lined up for you next week.
- 00:23:10.956 --> 00:23:12.824
- We're keeping a very close eye
- 00:23:12.824 --> 00:23:14.426
- On events in iran and why they matter to you.
- 00:23:14.426 --> 00:23:16.928
- Until next time, have a great weekend.
- 00:23:16.928 --> 00:23:19.498
- God bless you. we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:19.498 --> 00:23:19.498
